It's incredibly annoying when Riot gives a skin preview without telling us it's loot exclusive.

We all get so excited for the new skin coming out, then realize our chances of getting it are slim to none unless we want to shell out hundreds of dollars for it. Just tell us ahead of time next time, then we won't have our hopes up for long.

Not gonna lie I would shell out quite a bit of money for a new riven skin.

I think that makes you insane, that's so far beyond what the hextech skins are worth since they are definitively less in terms of quality than ultimate skins which are only around 30-40 dollars.

Boo. Hoo. How about Young Ryze? Grey and Urf Warwick? Or Medieval Twitch? All of them got VUs, new splashes, and there is near literally no one existing in this game who can possibly ever appreciate them.

Not remotely similar. We know those aren't for sale, whereas when they show the preview for this but leave out it's only loot exclusive it feels like a punch in the gut to all those who get excited for it. I see no reason they can't add the message somewhere in the preview.

You know what else is a gut punch? When every rework starting from Sion put every available skin for the champion on sale, in a bundle. But then comes Ryze, Twitch, and Warwick, who broke that trend. Same principle.

You mean his skins that were always purchasable and never completely hidden behind something else (legacy obviously doesn't count since they come back occasionally), unlike the other skins that you had to do referrals and shit for. Yeah, not remotely similar. Learn how to have an actual debate so you don't bring up completely irrelevant things.

Loot exclusive means its going to be like Hextech Annie and Soulstealer Vayne?

Yes

I don't know why they even add more loot exclusive skins. Does anyone like them? It was fun laughing at Anniebot spending hundreds of dollars and opening so many boxes that he was just exhausted when he finally got the skin, but that doesn't make the ridiculous price fun for us.

I know right! I was SO EXCITED FOR THIS SKIN! Only to realize it actually doesnt exist. (10 gemstones? I've gotten three total over the entire course of loot crafting. I'll be thirty years old before I can buy it)
